Documentation-riffic!
As I mentioned earlier, we recently did a little bit of the ultraviolence on the platform documentation. That is, a complete re-factor. We organized it differently, in an attempt to help you find what you’re looking for more easily, and added several new and expanded topics. Specifically, two things I’ve seen some confusion around amongst our initial community users, that we’re hoping to clarify:
Types of Widgets
What you can specify as your source URL when uploading a widget — that is, what a widget URL actually is — seems to have gotten some folks confused (yeah that’s our fault). Check out this page for a basic explanation. There are some other “hidden” options that we’ll discuss as we move forward, but this is the basic idea of what’s supported. Note that right now you cannot enter RSS feeds, for example, which we’ve seen many folks doing (we’ll support that on our next update).
Widget Configuration
How widgets are configured, including dynamic configuration and configuration overrides, is one of the most important and powerful aspects of the platform, so we want to make sure it’s totally clear how it all works. This new section in the documentation covers it in a fair amount of detail
That’s all for now, always looking for feedback on the quality and quantity of our docs and other supporting collateral.
